I think that in the book animal farm that napoleon is a lot like Adolph Hitler because they both wanted to take out their enemies. In both Napoleon and Hitler’s case neither enemies were real enemies, both Napoleon and Hitler just wanted to see smart and powerful and in charge. Neither Hitler nor Napoleon realized that just because a few people did wrong or were bad that not everyone else of that kind had to pay for the consequence too. I think a lot of people ignored the fact that they were both coming into power because they trusted them and thought that never in a million years would someone they trusted do something so wrong and so harsh and so cruel to them. No matter how much things were pointed out to them they truly wanted to believe that nothing was going to happen. According to Author Robert Wistrich in the website Who's Who in Nazi Germany, “The young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child” (Wistrich). As was Napoleon growing up on a farm that was very mistreated. As the years went by he and the rest of the animals grew very resentful to the owners too. The reason why the animals on the farm didn’t take the warning signs was because napoleon was all for this perfect life and the whole concept of animalism but as the story goes on he realizes that he can be in charge and feeds off of it. According to the website Wikipedia “Ultimately, Napoleon becomes an oppressive dictator and seems to become one of the cruel humans through his adoption of human ways.”(Wikipedia).
